‘Tiku Weds Sheru’ is touted as a love story and satire. The makers are yet to announce the release date. Sources suggest that Kangana was about to make the film with Irrfan Khan; however, Nawazuddin will essay the character of the male lead after Khan's demise.
On the professional front, Kangana will be next seen in ‘Thalaivi’. She is playing the role of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa in the highly anticipated flick. The biographical drama was slated to hit the silver screens on April 23; however, the makers postponed the release in the wake of the second wave of COVID-19.
The National Award-winning actress also has ‘Dhaakad’, ‘Tejas’, ‘Manikarnika Returns: The Legend Of Dida’ and ‘Emergency’ in her kitty. She is playing the role of a spy in 'Dhaakad', which will also feature Arjun Rampal and Divya Dutta.
